To paraphrase Al Pacino in “Godfather III,” just when we thought we were out, the Bush mob keeps pulling us back in. And will keep doing so.

Frank Rich pulls together several recent Bush era stories that the Obama administration would just as soon see go away. His point that the "drip drip" of these stories has the potential to distract the nation from Obama's agenda is well made.
Rich goes where Fox never goes. He claims not to like Blue Ribbon committees.....then refers to the crater which is the 911 commission.
I think that this situation concerning what the Bushies knew and did behind closed doors and with idelogical hubris will get a lot more depressing as more and more of the truth comes out. Nevertheless, the truth must be told.
